Humor often gets in the way of interesting discussion because of the ambiguity it introduces. Perhaps you can find another outlet for it, then bring your more serious thoughts here?
- intelthrow6 3y agoWhippersnapper, at one point HN was full of jolly, good fun, and filled with cracks and quips. I quite like noduerme‘s writings, because it’s novel, raw, and most of all original. Pedantism for its own sake is not discussion — but noise. And most of all… he’s been here longer than you and still retains the original ethos of this platform (punk, create, disrupt — not curmudgeon, consume, and conform).

FWIW I do appreciate hearing from another perspective. And didn't think this was a forum encouraging punk, cracks, quips, and raw thoughts. Perhaps the commenting guidelines have become to 'square' as the kids say.
